HAVE YOU RECENTLY PURCHASED A PONY FROM IRELAND???
Once your pony arrives and you have its passport in your hands you need to fill out an Irish transfer form, pictured below, and available to download from our website using the link at the bottom of this post.
If you bought this pony at the sales and are unable to get the owners signature then you will need to include a copy of your sales receipt.
Please read the information on the website throughly, it should answer all FAQs

I sent it back to Ireland & now it's been lost by royal mail. Put in a claim as its a joke! Wish I done my research first 😭 looking likely I'll have to pay to get a duplicate x
I did this earlier this year, quick and easy process and the communication is fantastic! Thank you x
I recently had a Connie shipped over. The owners signature is in the passport the came with her will that be suffice or does the owner need to sign the transfer of ownership form
